Fortinet Network Security for Enterprise Businesses
Orion Networks deploys and supports Fortinet firewalls, switching, and secure networking for manufacturing plants, distribution facilities, auto dealerships, and commercial properties across the Ohio Valley and beyond. The same team that installs your cameras and access control secures the network they run on.
Orion Networks is a member of the Fortinet Engage Partner Program, designing and supporting Fortinet security infrastructure for Kentucky businesses.
Security and networking on one operating system.
A FortiGate firewall runs the same operating system as the switches, access points, and remote-access clients behind it. That means one console, one policy set, and one place to look when something breaks, instead of four vendors’ dashboards and four support contracts. For a plant manager or an office administrator without a full-time network engineer on staff, that consolidation is the difference between a security stack that stays current and one that quietly goes stale.
Next-Generation Firewalls
FortiGate next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) deliver AI-powered security services, intrusion prevention, web filtering, application control, SD-WAN, and VPN functionality in a single platform, sized from a small branch office to a multi-building campus. Dedicated processors carry the inspection load, so throughput holds up with security features actually switched on.
Secure SD-WAN for Multi-Site Businesses
Running several locations on separate internet circuits usually means separate rules and separate problems. Fortinet Secure SD-WAN combines intelligent path selection, application-aware routing, and integrated security to optimize user experience across distributed locations.
Switching and Wireless Under One Policy
FortiSwitch and FortiAP hardware is managed directly from the firewall. Adding an access point on the plant floor or segmenting cameras onto their own VLAN is a change in one console rather than three, which matters when the person making the change is not a network specialist.
Secure Access for Off-Site Staff
Sales staff, service techs, and remote administrators get the same web filtering, application control, and access rules they would have sitting at a desk in the building. Access can be delivered using Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) principles, enabling users to connect only to authorized applications and resources.
Logging and Reporting You Can Produce
Centralized visibility, analytics, and management are available through FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager for organizations requiring advanced reporting and administration. This is the part nobody thinks about until a cyber insurance carrier or a customer audit asks what happened on the network six weeks ago and expects an answer.
